Sprint Defends Its Exclusivity Period Again
Posted by Ryan Kairer on June 5, 2009
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse remarked today that Verizon needs to “check their facts” regarding their ability to offer the Pre in six months. Speaking to CNET at a press event today the Sprint chief told a reporter:
“That just is not the case. Both Palm and Sprint have agreed not to discuss the length of the exclusivity deal. But I can tell you it’s not six months.”
While warming up its war room for launch day, the company has since been on the defensive as its two main rivals announced their intent to also offer the Palm Pre once Sprint’s exclusive contract expires. A video of the interview is also embedded after the break.
